Package: php4

Severity: grave

The Hardened-PHP project has disclosed several security
vulnerabilites:

  <http://www.hardened-php.net/advisory_182005.77.html>
  <http://www.hardened-php.net/advisory_192005.78.html>
  <http://www.hardened-php.net/advisory_202005.79.html>
  <http://www.hardened-php.net/globals-problem>

The "globals problem" appears to be somewhat nasty.  It is not clear
if it applies to stable's 4.3.10 version because the security feature
which turned out to be buggy was introduced in 4.3.11, according to
the fourth link above.  (Maybe PHP before 4.3.11 is vulnerable to some
other issue; I don't know.)

As usual, the 4.4.1 release might fix additional security bugs for
which no explicit advisories are released.
